We're expecting freezing temperatures throughout tonight's matchup in Pittsburgh that will close out the Wild Card Round. However, there's no projected snow, and the wind is expected to be on the lighter side at just 8 mph. The passing and kicking games should be unencumbered as you make your best Texans vs. Steelers prediction.
Texans vs. Steelers weather impact
- Passing games unaffected by wind. With no snow and little wind, the weather won't get in the way of either team's passing game. That's why our Gary Pearson targets three Overs in the passing game in his Texans vs. Steelers player props.
- How will C.J. Stroud perform in cold weather? Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is just 1-3 in games featuring temperatures 35 degrees or colder, according to Polymarket. Stroud threw one touchdown in a win in Kansas City earlier this season in freezing conditions. His passing touchdowns prop is set at 1.5, but the Under is favored at -156 odds at FanDuel.
- Two of the NFL's best kickers. If it comes down to a game-winning kick tonight, I have confidence either team's elite kicker will deliver, especially with light wind. Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn led the league with 44 field goals this season, while Pittsburgh's Chris Boswell only missed five field goals all year.
